Sanbao took a team of escorts and returned to Yuxi Town along the original road.
But after all, traveling with a torch at night is not as fast as during the day.
Sanbao could only pray that Jin Feng didn't sleep well last night and walk slower.
Otherwise, it might take them several days to catch up with Jin Feng.
It's a pity that God didn't hear his prayer.
Jin Feng, who was more than a hundred miles away, was worried about Xichuan. Except for a meal break in the middle, he was on the road the whole day.
At this time, we had just stopped to set up camp.
"Ms. sir, it's time to eat."
Tang Xiaobei walked into the tent carrying a tray with a distressed look on his face.
While rushing on the road today, Jin Feng kept yawning.
Tang Xiaobei tried to persuade him several times to let him rest, but Jin Feng refused.
It wasn't until dark that the monkeys found a place to camp.
"Have the night shifts been arranged?"
Jin Feng asked while taking the chopsticks.
"Don't worry, monkeys are much better at these things than you. There are five shifts, and each shift is on duty for an hour. It won't delay your journey tomorrow."
Tang Xiaobei poured a bowl of soup for Jin Feng: "It's you, you didn't sleep last night, and you rode a horse all day today. You should finish your meal and go to bed."
"knew!"
Jin Feng picked up the soup bowl and took a sip.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong? It's not to your liking?" Tang Xiaobei asked.
"I didn't sleep last night and my mouth tastes bad." Jin Feng shook his head and picked up the chopsticks.
"You too, didn't sister Xiaorou send Runniang to Xichuan? Why didn't you take her with you when you came to Donghai?"
Tang Xiaobei asked while picking up food for Jin Feng.
"It's been a bumpy journey to the East China Sea, and we have to fight with water bandits. Why do we bring Runniang to suffer with us?"
"You blame me for feeling sorry for Runniang," Tang Xiaobei curled his lips and said, "When I came to the East China Sea, why didn't I see you feeling sorry for me? And you even pulled people's ears!"
"Did I ask you to come?" Jin Feng rubbed Tang Xiaobei's hair: "You too, it's so comfortable to go back by boat, you have to ride a horse with me."
"You have a conscience." Tang Xiaobei winked at Jin Feng and asked, "Is it done?"
"What's done?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid!" Tang Xiaobei pouted: "Don't say you don't know why sister Xiaorou asked Runniang to go to Xichuan?"
"Children, stop prying into adults' matters!" Jin Feng picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Tang Xiaobei's mouth: "Eat."
"It's really disappointing. I sent you to Xichuan, but it didn't work!"
Tang Xiaobei reached out and tapped Jin Feng: "You know how to torment me!"
In the first few days after they met, Jin Feng indeed tormented Tang Xiaobei a lot. At this time, he felt a little guilty and stopped talking.
I didn't sleep for two days and one night, and Jin Feng went to bed early that night.
But my sleep was very restless, and I always dreamed of people dying of hunger in Xichuan, and of scenes from movies and TV shows in my previous life.
As soon as it gets dark, the escort team sets out again.
It was the same as the first day, except for taking a break every hour to burn incense and let the horses rest, the rest of the time was basically on the road.
Even for meals, Monkey sent someone to order a meal at an inn more than ten miles away. The group ate directly when they arrived, and then continued on their way after eating.
Fortunately, the escorts are used to traveling long distances and can bear it.
It's just a pain for Tang Xiaobei.
She travels either by carriage or by boat. This is the first time she has traveled long distances on horseback since she was a child.
The first day was fine. With my fresh energy, I thought it was quite fun.
There is a feeling of riding a horse all over the world.
I couldn't bear it the next day. After running all day, I felt like my skeleton was falling apart.
The thighs against the saddle were also worn.
But knowing that Jin Feng was anxious, Tang Xiaobei endured it without complaining.
"How about I ask Da Zhuang to arrange a team of people to take you back to the boat?"
That night, Jin Feng helped Tang Xiaobei get the medicine and felt extremely distressed.
"No, I'll just put an extra pad on the saddle tomorrow."
Tang Xiaobei stubbornly shook his head.
"You are the one who is stubborn." Jin Feng put away the ointment: "Lie down and I will apply it for you."
"Isn't it appropriate? A concubine serves the master. How can a master serve a concubine?"
Tang Xiaobei said this, but a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"Where does all this nonsense come from?"
Jin Feng turned Tang Xiaobei over angrily: "Why didn't you think about this when you bullied Xiaorou?"
"Sister Xiaorou is a generous person. You don't have the same experience as me."
Tang Xiaobei smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Jin Feng rubbed his hands to warm them and put his hand on Tang Xiaobei's leg.
Although Jin Feng's technique was not professional, Tang Xiaobei still squinted his eyes happily.
I think it's worth the pain this time.
In fact, it was not only Tang Xiaobei who suffered, but also Sanbao and others who were chasing Jin Feng.
They originally thought they could catch up with Jin Feng in two days at most, but they didn't expect that Jin Feng was also on his way at full speed.
Sanbao and the others have been chasing him for five days, but they still haven't caught up.
There was no other way, so Sanbao had no choice but to arrange for two bodyguards to go on foot and free up the horses. He himself rode three horses at a time and hurried on as quickly as possible.
Jin Feng and the others were riding one person at a time, so they couldn't keep galloping while running with all their strength.
In this way, Sanbao's speed is much faster than Jin Feng and the others.
Three days later in the evening, Sanbao finally caught up with the large army that was setting up camp.
"Sambo, why are you here?"
Jin Feng hadn't slept well these past few days. The first time he saw the Three Treasures, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Sir, Captain Han asked me to give you this letter!"
Sanbao took out the envelope from his arms: "I have been chasing you for several days, and finally I caught up with you!"
Jin Feng didn't have time to arrange the three treasures, so he immediately took the envelope and checked the paint.
After confirming that there is no problem, tear it open immediately.
Although Jin Feng was mentally prepared before reading the letter, he still clenched his fists in anger when he saw the content in the letter.
"How can these sons of bitches be so shameless?"
Jin Feng punched the tent pillars, knocking them down.
Jin Feng's fist also had a large piece broken.
Tang Xiaobei came over and happened to see this scene. He quickly ran over and took Jin Feng's hand to check the wound.
"Ms. sir, no matter how angry you are, you can't harm yourself like this, right?"
Tang Xiaobei took out a handkerchief to bandage Jin Feng's wound while blaming him distressedly.
"That means you don't know what they did?"
Jin Feng shook the letter paper until it rattled.
After all, he was a human being in two lifetimes. He lived for more than thirty years in his previous life and received higher education.
Jin Feng has always been much calmer than his peers.
Even when he learned that the water bandits had hanged and humiliated the bodyguard in the East China Sea, Jin Feng, although angry, could still remain calm, think about countermeasures, and make decisions as quickly as possible.
But now, Jin Feng's whole body was trembling slightly, his breathing became heavy, and he looked like he was fighting for his life.
Tang Xiaobei had seen Jin Feng angry, but rarely saw him angry like this.
This made Tang Xiaobei understand that something serious must have happened, and he quickly took the letter.
After a while, Tang Xiaobei's eyes grew wider and wider, and his right hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble.
She finally knew why Jin Feng was so angry.
"How shameless! They are so shameless!"
